Tips & Warnings

• To make a non-alcoholic version of this drink, substitute sparkling grape juice for the Champagne.

• Experiment with substituting other fresh, seasonal berries for the strawberries.

• Since this drink contains alcohol, be sure to drink responsibly and only serve to guests of legal drinking age.
